Gone

Original and similar lyrics

I'm not gonna give up this time
I'm gonna keep on,
Even when I'm not strong
My future's shining right in front of me
And I'm looking,
I'm gonna find my dream
I'm not leaving behind my old life,
I just know who I am,
And I'm gonna shine
So just try and stop me this time
You can't hold me back
Oh, I'm as good as gone this time.
My star is racing in front of me
I gotta catch it
Before it loses me
And now I've got my old guitar
And I'm singing
My rear-view mirror breaks my heart.
The hardest part about leaving
Is knowing that it's a one-way trip
And I'm going
So just try to stop me this time
You can't hold me back
Oh, I'm as good as gone this time.
And I'm done with hoping
Cause dreams are only
What you make of them
So just try and stop me this time
You can't hold me back
Oh, I'm as good as gone this time.
My future's shining right in front of me
And I'm looking,
I'm gonna find my dream.

Ev'rybody in the mornin'
Should do a good turn all right
Ev'rybody in the night time
Should have a good time all night
Now we got a movement
Don't shun it - fun it
Can't you see now you're movin' free ?
Get some fun join our dynasty
Can't you tell when we get it down ?
You're the one - you're the best in town
Hey ev'rybody ev'rybody gonna have a good time tonight
Just shakin' the soles of your feet
Ev'rybody ev'rybody gonna have a good time tonight
That's the only soul you'll ever meet
They say that movin' the body's right it's all right
That's only one part of bein' alive all right all right
Groove on out groove on up ok
Do your thing do your thing your way
Get your kicks get your tricks with me
Get up and dance honey fun's for free
Ev'rybody ev'rybody gonna have a good time tonight
Just shakin' the soles of your feet
Ev'rybody gonna have a good time tonight time tonight time tonight
That's the only soul you'll ever meet
Don't shun it - fun it
Don't shun it - fun it
Don't shun it - fun it

A child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch,
and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away,
and he was
Talkin' 'fore I knew it,
and as he grew, he said:
I'm gonna be like you, dad,
You know I'm gonna be like you
And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home, son,
I don't know when
But we'll have a good time then, dad
You know we'll have a good time then.
My son turned ten just the other day,
he said
Thanks for the ball, dad,
come on let's play
Can you teach me to throw,
I said not today,
I got a lot to do,
he said that's okay
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed,
he said
I'm gonna be like him, yeah
You know I'm gonna be like him.
And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home, son,
I don't know when
But we'll have a good time then
You know we'll have a good time then.
Well he came from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
Son I'm proud of you,
can we sit for a while?
He shook his head, and said, with a smile
What I'd really like, dad,
is to borrow the car keys
See ya later, can I have them please?
And the cat's in the cradle,
and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home, son,
I don't know when
But we'll have a good time then, dad
You know we'll have a good time then.
I've long since retired,
my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day.
I said, I'd like to see you,
if you don't mind, he said
I'd love to, dad,
if I could find the time.
You see my new job's a hassle and the kids got the flu
But it's been sure nice talkin' to you, yeah
Sure nice talkin' to you.
And as I hung up the phone it occured to me,
He'd grown up just like me, yeah.
My boy was just like me.
And the cat's in the cradle,
and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home, son,
I don't know when
But we'll have a good time then, dad
You know we'll have a good time then.

Bring back those good ol' days.
Nothing feels right, nothing ever goes my way...
I threw my future away.
Now I walk alone out here in the cold
wandering astray...
where is my future?
I'm gonna need a home.
You'd expect the same now wouldn't you...
wouldn't you.
Your journey back to birth is haunting you...
haunting you.
Your departure from the earth is haunting you...
haunting you.
Only those who accept will find acceptance in return.
We have been trimmed down like hedges
and told just to sit and wilt
and spit at each other from a distance.
There is a constant resistance from you.
I'm gonna need a home.
You'd expect the same now wouldn't you...
wouldn't you.
It's been ten years strong...
that's much to long.
It's time to something good for my health.
It's time to do something good for myself.
I've wasted all this time.

Since you never gave a damn in the first place
Maybe it's time you had the tables turned
Cuz in the interest of all involved I got the problem solved
And the verdict is guilty...
...Man nearly killed me
Steppin' where you fear to tread
Stop, drop and roll - you were dead from the git-go!!
Big mouth fucker, stupid cocksucker!
Are you scared of me now Then you're dumber than I thought
Always is, never was
Foundation made of piss and vinegar
Step to me, I'll smear ya - Think I fear ya bullshit!
Just another dumb punk chompin' at this tit
Is there any way to break through the noise
Was it something that I said that got you bent
It's gotta be that way if you want it
Sanity, Literal Profanity hit me!
Spit it out
All you wanna do is drag me down
All I wanna do is stamp you out
Maybe it's the way you spread a lotta rumour fodder
Keepin' all your little spies and leavin' when you realise
Step up, fairy
I guess it's time to bury your ass with the chrome
Straight to the dome
You heard that right, bitch, I didn't stutter
If you know what's good - sit, shut up and beg, brother
Backstab - Don't you know who you're dissin'
Side swipe - we know the ass that you're kissin'!
Bigidy - bigidy bitch boy, halfwat hauser
Can't hear shit cuz I keep gettin' louder
Step up, and you get a face full o' tactic
Lippin' off hard, goin' home in a basket
You got no pull, no power, no nuthin'
Now you start shit Well, ain't that somethin'
Payoffs don't protect, and you can't hide if you want
But I'll find you - Comin' up behind you!
Spit it out
All you wanna do is drag me down
All I wanna do is stamp you out
'Bout time I set this record straight
All the needlenose punchin' is makin' me irate
Sick o' my bitchin' fallin' on deaf ears
Where YOU gonna be in the next five years
The crew and all the fools, and all the politix
Get your lips ready, gonna gag, gonna make you sick
You got dick when they passed out the good stuff
Bam
Are you sick of me Good enough - had enough
Fuck me! I'm all out of enemies!
Fuck me! I'm all out of enemas!
Spit it out
All you wanna do is drag me down
All I wanna do is stamp you out

We walked on the beach beside that old hotel
They're tearing it down now
But it's just as well
I haven't shown you everything a man can do
So stay with me baby
I've got plans for you
This is the time to remember
Cause it will not last forever
These are the days
To hold on to
Cause we won't
Although we'll want to
This is the time
But time is gonna change
You've given me the best of you
And now I need the rest of you
Did you know that before you came into my life
It was some kind of miracle that I survived
Some day we will both look back
And have to laugh
We lived through a lifetime
And the aftermath
This is the time to remember
Cause it will not last forever
These are the days
To hold on to
Cause we won't
Although we want to
This is the time
But time is gonna change
I know we've got to move somehow
But I don't want to lose you know
Sometimes it's so easy
To let a day
Slip on by
Without even seeing each other at all
But this is the time you'll turn back and so will I
And those will be the days you can never recall
And so we embrace again
Behind the dunes
This beach is cold
On winter afternoons
But holding you close is like holding the summer sun
I'm warm from the memory of days to come
This is the time to remember
Cause it will not last forever
These are the days
To hold on to
But we won't
Although we'll want to
This is the time
But time is gonna change
You've given me the best of you
But now I need the rest of you
